I did this tank cake for my son’s 4th birthday party. I took ideas from different cakes from this website. What really made the cake and impressed the cake eaters was the camo. cake on the inside.
I baked two 9 x 13 cakes, and one in a loaf pan. I mixed up 6 cake mixes in three different bowls. 2- chocolate cake, 2- yellow cake, and 2- yellow cake that I added green food coloring to. When I poured the cake batter into the baking pans, I alternated the colored mixes.
I used Twizzler nibs for the tracks, Kebler grasshopper cookies for the track wheels and the tank cover on top. The road is crushed Oreos, and the dirt is crushed chocolate graham crackers. The cannon is a biscotti stick from Starbucks.
I frosted the cake with cream cheese frosting then sprayed it with green cake spray, then used melted choc. bark, and black frosting. I rounded the edges of the second layered 9 x 13 cake to form the tank better.
This was a fun cake to make.
AMAZING!! YOU ARE SO TALENTED!!! WONDER WHERE YOU GOT THAT FROM… LOVE YA

Wow Think I saw one of these at Fort Dix in 1966. Can’t wait till next Jun… Embraer 170 with blenders for the jet engines.
